  1. So their children weren’t smart enough to get in? So they had to cheat? K then

    • Yeap apparently they did poorly on the SATs
      πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚like not even the minimum 😐😐
      And what is even more laughable is that even though is a good school is not an ivy league like Harvard or Yale. Is like second πŸ₯ˆ as far as ivy leagues goes
      πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

    • Apparently so..us REALISTS had to bust our Asses or win scholarships.. who are the dum asses that paid $500k or more for this? Hell with all the money just could’ve bought the degree!!

    • NoirBella QT They could’ve just invested that money in the market and doubled it every 10 years with average returns or took some business courses and used the money to start their own business.

  2. I bet it does! Don’t y’all know whats done in the dark **ALWAYS** comes to lightπŸ’…πŸ’…

    • Also shows Frank Gallagher has class because he said no even if his wife didn’t ironic right? Lol

    • But money can buy your way into “the class”. Then you have your lawyer threaten the school to never release your grades

    • No one ever notices anything like that .. But I sure do ..I see u do too.. ,πŸ˜€πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜€πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜€πŸ˜ƒ

  3. All of them (parents & coaches) should be locked up and for at least 6mos to 1yr!!!

    • Their worst punishment will not be what the courts impose. It will be to watch their kids growing up to be nobodies with no education and no sense of responsibility.

    • +Luigi Petrocelli yeah in a perfect world no cap… but at this point I doubt they (the children) even get kicked out of school! Thats too much like right tho!

  4. Lmao Rich white people have been bribing their way past things since the beginning of time … it’s their thing they do when they have no other choice

  5. They have the money to pay for their education but still committed fraud to get them in the elite college by photoshopping the face to an athlete’s body ?Then she has the nerve to say that she donated $500,000 to a charity ? These people are sick Q

  6. Their parents pay their way into these top schools with β€œgenerous” donations, then as soon as they get in, they cheat off all the Asians! You can’t tell me that people like George Bush or Trump got in on their smarts. They had help and powerful connections made by past generations of wealth and power.

    • All goes to prove the U.S. has the finest and fairest system of college admissions money can buy.

  7. To get into college is not a game unless you have very poor grades and didn’t give a crap about high school because mommy & daddy let you do whatever you wanted.

  8. All these families that have had that sense of entitlement for years? Kiss It Goodbye!

    • the 10 million is to get dumb kids into good or great schools because they cant get in on their own abilities. the worst part is how many substandard graduates are now in positions in medicine,law etc.because mommy and daddy had to be able to say their son or daughter got into Stanford or another expensive or prestigious school. and how many excellent intelligent kids never got accepted.

  9. I work in a rich district. I heard a teacher talking about how a student was trying to pay her to change his grade for his cooking class. This Jr. High too.

  10. This has been going on since the establishment of colleges. Have you ever noticed the majority of white people in college? Yet, when they graduate some of them don’t know much about what they have studied. Employers are so quick to hire them because of their degree, however, once they are employed someone else have to train them and show them certain programs that they should had learn while they were attending or taking certain courses. This has happened to me. White privilege at it’s best.

  11. No one told them college is a scam anyway πŸ˜†πŸ˜…πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ˜­
